“Sarah sat on the bed, her large, freckled hand storking the golden down on our baby's had. 'You can change your mind.' I'd tried to imagine it a hundred different ways. 'It's not just my mind that would need to change,' I said.”
Pip Williams, The Dictionary of Lost Words

Nathan  Harris
“And alongside this decision there was some forfeiture in the thought he found unsettling: that for every pound of weight they’d carried across their backs, for every drop of sweat that had poured off, no inch of this land was theirs. As long as they stayed, they were no better than the others, kept on the borders of town, hidden among the trees just like their brothers and sisters. And it grew clear that the only path to a life worth living would be found elsewhere, where they might not have more but could not possibly have less.”
Nathan Harris, The Sweetness of Water

“The noises of society fending off despair with routine.”

“It is context...that gives meaning.

“LOSS
'Sorry for your loss, they say. And I want to know what they mean, because it's not just my boys I've lost. I've lost my motherhood, my chance to be a grandmother. I've lost the easy conversation of neighbours and the comfort of family in my old age. Every day I wake to some new loss that I hadn't thought of before, and I know that soon it will be my mind.'
Vivienne Blackman, 1915”
